bought the 137 x 43 Crazyfly for light wind days. board has a lot of rocker. having only owned a 128 and 122 in the past, I thought a light wind specific solution was a much flatter (rocker-wise) board. I was flying my Contra 14 in 8-11 mph winds the other day and having trouble staying upwind, although I was planing. It also was my first day on both kite and board but isn't the theory flatter board for light wind? thanks

That is a pretty wide board, so it is definitely more oriented for the lighter winds... It isn't going to do as good as a Slingshot Glide, Aggression Barn Door, etc.. those are the super flat ones and do better in REALLY light stuff(8-13mph range). The Crazy Fly would do better in the moderate light stuff(13mph plus). Of cousre it depends on how much you weigh too....

yes, 43 cm. it's almost 44 cm. very flexy, lots of rocker and 6 cm fins almost the antithesis of a lightwind board

Yes, 44 wide is correct. I realized that after my post, but at that time, there was no to "delete" or "edit" choices.. so it was just glaring at me up there :x , and I couldn't remove it.

Sorry about my mistake on the board width (not my only one during my first few days).
I understand you got an Aggression. Nice board, I happen to have one for light winds myself.
